Apple should be called Malus, honestly. It's the Latin designation for "common apple" and sounds evil: exactly what Apple is.

And if you're European, participate in the elections in June to get more parties into the EU bodies that will take legislative action against companies like Apple. The EU is the reason Apple is even attempting this silliness because Apple was designated a gatekeeper in the Digital Markets Act: one of the great EU acts for consumers.

I think the face in the comic convey quite well that "haha why" was not a "wow, I'm interested" but "the fuck you doing, bro?". Especially since it's literally prefixed with "what the hell are you doing?".

Just because I type LOL doesn't mean I'm LOL

HackerNews is full of these kind of people

Contributor: Hey guys, I wrote this proof of concept in a fortnight that does something fun!

HackerNews: Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?

Contributor: I... thought it would be fun after shitty days at work

HackerNews: You could be spending your time making money or contributing to $subjectivelyMoreImportantProject. Be ashamed

People who can't accept that some people just want to have fun and do what they like.

That requires a population willing to vote for such legislators.

That's your opinion and I don't share it.
